Got in a good 5 miler today. I ventured off on a new route that I thought would take me 5 miles. I was pretty good at calculating, because I finished back at my house after 5.02 miles. Not too shabby...

Six miles today. Nice and comfortable...For the first time in a while, I actually felt like a runner. I ran another new route again. This time starting at my girlfriend's place and meeting up with the bike trail that I normally run on. 6.19 was the final tally...

It's been a pretty good week of running. I got in three 4 milers during the week (Monday, Thursday, and Friday). I capped the week off with a 11.5 mile run while visiting my parents house. It's always a change when I run at my parents house, as they have a crushed limestone train that ventures out into the country. So, I get a change of terrain and a change of scenery...

Oh, I forgot to mention that tomorrow starts my base building for my fall marathon training program. The base building will include hill repeats and progressive increases in long runs. I am hoping to hit training in good shape...

I started my Monday cross training last night. It was the first night of softball and I am surprisingly not that sore today. I thought that i would be with the sprinting, lateral movements, and the diving on the ground. I must have my legs in better shape than I originally thought.

Back at it yesterday after taking Tuesday off to rest my legs. 4.25 miles on a pretty decent day, outside of the wind. Today we are supposed to hit 80, so I hope that the rain holds off so I can get in a nice warmer run.

Last week was lower 50s and rain...horrible...This week it has been in the upper 50s to lower 60s...yesterday it was upper 60s...and today we are supposed to be in the lower 80s, which is more my cup of tea.
